VOLUSIA COUNTY DEPUTIES BEEN SEARCHING FOR A MISSING OSTEEN WOMAN SINCE YESTERDAY WHEN THEY GOT WORD FROM NEIGHBORS NO ONE HAS SEEN HER FOR TWO WEEKS. SHE LIVES ALONE IN A RURAL AREA OF OSTEEN. NEIGHBORS DESCRIBE HER AS PRIVATE BUT A WOMAN WHO WALKS A MILE FEARS IT MAY HAVE GOTTEN HER INTO TROUBLE. CLAIRE METZ JOINS US LIVE. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF CLOSE FAMILY SO IT WAS THE NEIGHBORS WHO NOTICED NEWSPAPERS PILING UP. THEY WENT TO CHECK ON HER. AND WHAT THEY FOUND HAS LEFT THEM VERY WORRIED. SHE MAY HAVE JUST TAKEN OFF SOMEWHERE BUT HER CLOTHES WERE THERE. JOANN CARMEN TER AND HER HUSBAND ALERTED AUTHORITIES AFTER WALK PAST THE LOCKED GATE TO CHECK ON SHIRLEY. THEY DIDN'T FIND THE ELDERLY WOMAN, BUT A SLIDING GLASS DOOR WAS OPEN, THE RADIO WAS ON. THE WALLET SHE CARRIES EVERYWHERE WAS ON THE TABLE BUT EMPTY. SHE IS FAMOUS FOR WALKING IN THIS REMOTE AREA FOR MILES TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. JOANN WONDERS IF SOMEONE UN-FRIENDLY PICKED HER UP. SHE WON'T GET IN IF SHE DOESN'T KNOW YOU. IN THE CAR. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. YOU KNOW, SHE'S OLD NOW. SHE MAY NOT KNOW THE PERSON BUT NEEDS A RIDE BAD. INVESTIGATORS HAVE BEEN OUT IN GROUPS SEARCHING THE MISSING WOMAN'S PROPERTY TRAMPLING THROUGH WOODS WHICH ARE PREVALENT. CIRCULATING HER PICTURE. BUT SO FAR NOTHING. I DON'T HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT ANY OF THIS. NEIGHBOR JAN DANIELS IS SICK WITH WORRY. UM BARGER DOESN'T HAVE A CAR SO DANIELS OFTEN PICKED HER UP AND HARPED ON HER ABOUT THE DANGER OF WALKING ALONE. SHE WONDERS IF THE SENIOR COLLAPSED OR IF SOMEONE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER VULNERABILITY. WE'RE OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRY AND WORD GETS AROUND. SHE IS AN ELDERLY PERSON AND SHE IS A PROPERTY OWNER AND I JUST DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT THIS. VERY FEW IN THIS AREA DO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THIS. THEY SAY MISS UM BARGER DID NOT HAVE A CELL PHONE EITHER SO THERE IS NO WAY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HER. IF YOU RECOGNIZE HER F YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT MAY HAVE BECOME OF THIS MISSING SENIOR, VOLUSIA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. REPORTING LIVE IN OSTEEN,
